I'm about to replace the Fox Vanilla Float air shock on the rear of my bike, and am looking to get a coil/oil shock. I've looked at the Fox Vanilla RC and the Stratos Helix, are there any other options out there people have had experience with?

Oh yeah- the bike is a 99 Rocky Mountain Element Race w/ a 100mm Z3 up front.

Look on www.MTBR.com and check under the review section.
I still ride a hard trail :smokin:

MBA tried out the 5th element rear coil over shock on an Intense Uzzi SLX and loved it. It was the month with the three discs setups on the cover...

OMG thanks, that sounds like the shiznit!! Advances like this make me think I should just start over w/ something like a Kona Stinky or (if I win the lottery or rob a bank) a Turner RFX. Unfortunately I need to decide between the new shock for the bike or the dual case adapter for the Toy, and spring is approaching . . . . . . .:mad:

anyhow, thanks again:D
